Leveling 25g cube

Edit: Never mind. Contacted Marine Land directly and they said it wasn't an issue on a tank that size.

 

Hi all. Wanted to run this past the community. Noticed today that the level is off ever so slightly on my 25g rimless cube. Like we're talking there's a difference of 4mm from back to front (or 0.15" in freedom units), and it's uniformly distributed front to back and not from side to side.

 

Is that even worth bothering trying to fix? Seems so small as to not make a difference. It doesn't bother me aesthetically, but I also don't want to have the tank blow up a few years from now over something I could fix today.

 

Whaddya think? Mountain out of a mole hill? I've run tanks that weren't level before, but that was years ago before I was married and had someone who'd be cross if the tank flooded the computer room. ;)

 

Thanks!

Looks like you have it figured out, but generally on smaller tanks, there very little risk to running them slightly off level. Unless it's off level to the point of making it a tipping danger, or risks sliding off the stand for flat bottom tanks, I'd imagine that most modern commercial tanks are structurally safe if not level at this point as well.
